The tired parts of the mind can be rested and strengthened not merely by rest, but by using other parts.
Winston Churchill
Image
I wanted us to go to the Tories when we were strong...not in misfortune to be made an honest woman of.
Winston Churchill
Image
I do not believe there is the slightest chance of war with Japan in our lifetime. The Japanese are our allies.... Japan is at the other end of the world. She cannot menace our vital security in any way.... War with Japan is not a possibility which any reasonable government need take into account.
Winston Churchill
Image
At the bottom of all the tributes paid to democracy is the little man, walking into the little booth, with a little pencil, making a little cross on a little bit of paper-no amount of rhetoric or voluminous discussion can possibly diminish the overwhelming importance of the point.
Winston Churchill
Image
Sure I am of this, that you have only to endure to conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves, and to save all those who rely upon you. You have only to go right on, and at the end of the road, be it short or long, victory and honor will be found.
Winston Churchill

Un pesimista ve la dificultad en cada oportunidad un optimista ve una oportunidad en cada dificultad

Sunshine is my quest.
Winston Churchill
Image
There is no worse mistake in public leadership than to hold out false hopes soon to be swept away. The British people can face peril or misfortune with fortitude and buoyancy, but they bitterly resent being deceived or finding that those responsible for their affairs are themselves dwelling in a fool's paradise.
Winston Churchill

Money is like manure, its only good if you spread it around.
Winston Churchill
Image
A nation which has forgotten its past can have no future.
Winston Churchill
Image
You may take the most gallant sailor, the most intrepid airman, or the most audacious soldier, put them at a table together- what do you get? The sum of their fears.
Winston Churchill
Image
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
Winston Churchill
Image
More than 80 per cent of the British casualties of the Great War were English. More than 80 per cent of the taxation is paid by the English taxpayers. We are entitled to mention these facts, and to draw authority and courage from them.
Winston Churchill
Image
If I stay on for the time being, bearing the burden at my age, it is not because of love for power or office. I have had an ample share of both. If I stay it is because I have a feeling that I may, through things that have happened, have an influence about what I care about above all else, the building of a sure and lasting peace.
Winston Churchill
Image
You must sleep sometime between lunch and dinner, and no halfway measures. Take off your clothes and get into bed. That's what I always do.
Winston Churchill
Image
Preparation is - if not the key to genius - then at least the key to sounding like a genius.
Winston Churchill
Image
A man can wear out a particular part of his mind by continually using and tiring it, just in the same way he can wear out the elbows of his coat.
Winston Churchill
Image
When I get to heaven I mean to spend a considerable portion of my first million years in painting, and so get to the bottom of the subject.
Winston Churchill
Image
This beginning with Audacity, or being thrown into the middle of it, is already a very great part of the art of painting.
Winston Churchill

Every man should ask himself each day whether he is not too readily accepting negative solutions.
